Independent Publisher Showcase with Montez Press

13 February 6.15pm

Age Guidance: All are Welcome

Celebrate LGBTQ History Month with a night of readings and conversation with local queer arts publisher Montez Press.

Envisaged as the third iteration of the spirit of Lola Montez (Lola, Maria, Mario), Montez Press was formed in 2012. We have since commissioned and published experimental work by artists, writers and thinkers with a focus on queer and intersectional feminist practices through the lens of artists’ writing. We are committed to curiosity, questioning established methods and systems, and engaging in open conversation and dialogue. Our methods are deeply collaborative. We seek to support unexpected creators, including those who may not receive institutional support due to social and economic systemic prejudices. We commit to a rigorous editorial process in our effort to produce work that takes risks and surprises and challenges the reader.

Length: 1 hour 20 minutes
